Dull morrrrning ....

18th December 2022 (Sunday)     09.45 .... ‘Strong winds and rain’ is the

Grey Seal (juvenile).

weather forecast for us this afternoon;  at the moment it’s overcast  with frisky breeze....a dull start to the day.   I’ve been for the paper and down to the harbour;  all is good and quiet all over the place this morrrrning.   There is/was a grey seal pup on the rocks at the harbour.... not a new born pup;  this one has been abandoned by ‘Maw’, and is about to start (unknown to it so far)  fending for itself.    Hunger will be the motivator.   I’ll loup intae the car and deliver the remainder o’ the Christmas cards before the rain comes;  after morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.

22.30     I louped intae the car to deliver the cards.... got to Elie and discovered I’d left the cards at home.    However I did a wee shopping in the ‘Deli’;   I got parked outside nae bother.... usually I can’t get near it.    Anyway I did the shopping and have yet to deliver the last of the cards.  

There’s a parcel being delivered by Royal Mail tomorrow so I’ll have to be around for that:  Michael is going to phone and let me know when to expect it;  hopefully in the morning.   I’ll deliver the cards as soon as I know what’s ‘appening.

This has a been a funny day:  luckily the bad weather never materialized and the air is warmer so we shouldn’t have any frost tomorrow morrrning.   Having said that I couldn’t get ‘into gear’ today;  oh I did things on the computer, and watched the football.   It was a brilliant Final and I was happy that Messi (Argentina) finally got a World Cup medal.... he is magical with a football.   As was Mbappe the French ‘star’ player  Argentina beat France 4 m- 2 on penalties the score being 3 – 3 after extra time.   


The forecast for tomorrow is ‘strong winds and rain’...  and much warmer!  I’m hoping the rain and wind will be somewhere... as it was today.   Although I haven’t  got everything done that I’d planned, I’m fairly satisfied at the end of the day.   I forgot to get chocolate when in the ‘Deli’ so I’ll tea and digestive biscuits again.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa

Quiet morning ....

 5th October 2023 (Thursday)     09.30.... The crock pot has been fired up with a batch o’ Scotch Broth, George’s bucket has been put out for tomorrow morning....I have had breakfast, and now on my third cuppa of the morning; hoping for a stress free day.   The past two days were not stress free. Yesterday began really well.... I got the car insurance sorted, and was   settling down to check FB.    I saw a photograph captioned ‘Seal on a floe .... or was it?’   Being inquisitive I ‘clicked’ on it;   and that   was it .... flashing warnings all over the computer screen.     I’d been hacked.   A small window appeared purporting to be from Microsoft Security so I clicked on that and got an 0800 number to phone;    which I did and was answered by an Indian.     That’s when I should have pulled the plug on the computer.    However, h e as very   plausible so I began to follow his instructions for a few minutes... then  began to get suspicious;   especially when he began to insist that I
